These are almost like new cars, Well, the newest Vanagons are 18 - 19 years old now. Even with low miles a lot parts, especially rubbers seals, gaskets, FUEL LINES, bushings, etc. will need refreshing. And even new, they were not as reliable as todays new cars are. For a fully documented professionally restored Vanagon Westy some of these prices may be justifiable; mere low miles doesn't really justify a 5 figure price IMHO. And a 20 year old Vanagon with only 70K miles has spent a lot of time sitting, which is not really great for a car either. They are great vehicles but they are NOT new cars.
